Yep Watford is a great place to be right now! The owners are first class, the board are united in there ambition, the Manager is a true gent who will be a class manager in time, the coaching and physio staff are great and the players are hard working, exciting talents that supply us fans with some truely great football!
All we need now is an improved home following, promotion and a new east stand/stadium redevelopment finished and our club would be fully transformed from the farce it has been for the last six years!

Lets get a new song for Zola and sing his current one for our fantastic owners:

Giampaolo wooooaaaooooh
And Gino wooooaaaaoooh
The Pozzo family
They come from Italy"

Pudil may miss the Hornets game against Derby on Saturday. Picture: Action Images

Watford defender Daniel Pudil remains a doubt for Saturday’s Championship clash against Derby County and the Hornets could be without six other players.

Gianfranco Zola’s side go into the game unbeaten in their last four league fixtures and have recorded back-to-back victories.

Derby’s play-off hopes have stuttered and they have drawn three of their last four matches.

Zola stated today that Pudil had not been training with the side and the Czech Republic international is doubtful for Saturday’s clash due to illness Tommie Hoban will be absent after flying to Italy for a consultation on an Achilles injury.

Zola stated the game would be "too early" for Fitz Hall to make a return from a hamstring injury while Neuton is also ruled out.

When asked about the fitness of midfielders Connor Smith and Prince Buaben, the Hornets head coach said: "Connor should be back in full training next week. Prince Buaben might also be training with the team tomorrow (Friday).

Zola added that Watford captain John Eustace is also likely to return to training next week. He is currently suffering with a a "muscle problem."

Derby have their own injury issues and will be without skipper Shaun Barker due to a knee ligament injury.
